The State of Lasetania (TSoL), commonly known as Lasetania (LST) was a self-proclaimed sovereign state, more commonly referred to as a micronation by external observers. It was the predecessor of the Lasetian Adminstritave Territory and the State of Lasetia. Located in middle of Germany and Slovakia it was landlocked almost completely within Bielefeld,Germany and Trenćin, Slovakia.

It was founded 10 March 2023 by the democratic elected president, and 7 People officially lived in Lasetania. There are 3 Districts and one Territory, the Capital is Königshalbtern. The Legislature of Lasetia is the National Council or the President. The Executive is the Lasetian National Army and Judikative is the Lasetian National Court. The State of Lasetania lasted officially 3 days, reaching from 10.3.2023 until 13.3.2023.

Etymology

The Name Lasetania has no real Etymology, but the Name officialy changed from Lasetania (Lasetanien) to Lasetia (Lasetien) at 15, March 2023. The Name was a random choice.

Vexilogy

The Colors on the Lasetian Flag have a meaning. The Blue stands for the sky and for prosperity, Yellow for the wheat fields located next to their home and progress. Black Stands for elegance and dominance of the Goverment. The Yellow Hand in the White circle stand for the democracy and the power of the state. The Wreath represents the wheat, which is located next to Maximilian IB. home.

Connection to Lasetia

The now defunct state of Lasetania was just a formal change caused by the incorporation into the NRR. It is not clear when it was officially founded but 9,10 and 11th March are the most important dates.

History

Most of the Time in History the State of Lasetania was included in the City of Bielefeld and in the Middle Ages in The principality of Ravensberg. In the Middle Ages The principality of Ravensberg was independent but in included in the Holy Roman Empire. It became a part of Prussia in the 1700s and stayed until the end of Wold War 2. But it was included in the Amt Dornberg from 1843-1972. In 1973 Dornberg was incoporated into the City of Bielefeld.

=== The Founding Era (2023) ===´ The Founding Era of Lasetania began at the beginning of 2023, where the Founder Maximilian IB. became interested into the topic of Micronations. At First he informed himself how to establish a own country and on 11 March 2023 he declared independence. The First Era of the Country will probably be shaped by the expansion of the territory, the construction of the state and the development of national identity.

Declaration of Independence from Germany

11 March 2023 20:30 MET Maximilian IB. founded the State of Lasetia. He declared the Independence from Germany and hometown Bielefeld. At the beginning of the State 3 people lived there. There was first no Territory which was claimed, but it evolved over time. There is no conflict, because Lasetia is more an autonomous Region than an independent Country. This is mainly because Lasetia is heavily Dependent of Imports from Germany, and Germany armed forces could easily destroy The State of Lasetia. So the new formed Government of Lasetia follows the rule to be peaceful and be as autonomous and independent as possible without starting a conflict.

The Subjection of The State of Lasetania

14 March Maximilian IB. declared at 14:00 MET the Subjection of the once independent and strong State. Maximilian IB. said in an Interview that Lasetania is from now on included into the New Rubix Republic and Form the Lasetian Administrative Territory (LAT). The Population of Lasetania was in shock and outraged. The Ex-Gouverner of the Lasetian Administrative Territory, Maximilian IB.even had the Rubix-PassPort. The Lasetian Administrative Territory has a little grade of autonomy, but was dependent from NNR. The Happiness about Lasetia is practically down and there are rumours about Maximilian IB. declaring Independence or even the creation of a new political party, against the "Occupier" or even start a revolution. There are plans to pressure up Maximilian IB. to make Lasetia "great" and independence. At 14 March the Population increased to 5 people, which means 1 Person(Victoria IK.) joined the Federation. The Controlled Area has gone up

The new Declaration of Independence

15 March The Gouverner of the Lasetian Administrative Territory declared the independence from the New Rubix Republic. This was due the unhappines of the population living "restrained" and dependent from a Micronation "which is 5000km away and can do nothing". There was no conflict and the President call out that peace and partnership are important. So in this case he asked if the NRR wants to maintain good Relations with New Rubix Republic.

Politics and government

The Lasetanian State is a Presidential Republic. This Means that the President is the head of the State.

Early government

The Goverment of Lasetania includes, the President of Lasetia, the Vice-President of Lasetia and the Ministries of Lasetia. The National Council of Lasetia is including the Ministers of Lasetia and People who are representing a political party. When there is a voting, the Candidate of the Party with the most votes can become president. If there are more than 3 Partys there can be a coalition formed if the Party with the most votes does not have absolute majority (50%+).

First Lasetian Government

The First Lasetania Government was elected 11 March 2023. The top-candidate and founder of the State of Lasetia Maximilian IB. won the Election for his Party CRPL. Because only 3 People are political active, Maximilian IB. occupies 4 Ministerial post and the office of president. Alexander IB. actually holds only the Ministerial Post of Interior Affairs, Health and Community. This is due to low political activeness. Victoria IK. became a citizen 14 March 2023, and she is political very active and commited. She has the Post of the Ministry of Social and Families. The CRPL is the only party having seats in the National Council, because there is only one party. The National Council isnt fully established and organized due to low activeness and population. But actual are 3 Seats of the National Council of Lasetia manned.

Head of state

The Head of State was Maximilian IB. Since the first Election of the Goverment and President he had 100% of all Votes. The President is able to pass new Laws, dispower the National Council of Lasetia when the State of Emergency is called out by him. But it is also the Duty of the President to make his country successful by making the right decisions for Ministries and Laws. When the National Council of Lasetia suggest a Person to become a Minister, the President has to give his consent that this person becomes a Minister of Lasetia. In this case the President can pick a Person, who he thinks has good abilities to lead the Ministrie. The President or The Minister of Immigration and Colonization are only allowed to accept new Citizen, who wants to join Lasetia.

Legislature

The Legislature was the National Council or the President. The President must permit a new Law if under 70% of all Members of the National Council votes in favor of the Law. The President could dissolve the National Council or reduce the Power and forbid to make new laws or protest against new laws, if the State of Emergency is reached. Under the State of Emergency the President could stop the Council for indefinite time and stop new Votes. In normal case the National Council could make new laws and them and the president are exchanging about the new laws. The President was allowed to pass new Laws. The Vice-President is in exchange with the President and is present at all Meetings of the National Council. The National Council is functioning like a Parliament but smaller. In the actual form Everyone above the Age of 12 and Member of a political party has a seat in the National Council.

Immigration Policies

The Free State of Lasetania was very open about Immigration. There aren´t any restrictions to join the State. Every Person who joins the Free State of Lasetia has a right to vote, join or found a new political party, enlist in the army and is allowed to be a Gouverner of the Territory he adds to Lasetia by declaring it Lasetian State Territory.

The Person can become the Gouverner of the Territory he declared as Lasetian National Territory and can rule autonomous if the President of Lasetia gives his permission. When you want to join you need to give information about your Name and the Territory you claim. There will be Online Passports for people living outside Germany, but the passport is still in Draft and will be released soon.

Political parties

There was only one political Party in The Free State of Lasetania. This is happening due to the low population of 4 People which are recognising the State of Lasetania. Everybody who joins the State of Lasetania was allowed to found and join any political party. The main rule for partys is, to secure the State of Lasetania. Every Ideology is allowed.

Central

The CRPL is the still existing Central Reformer Party of Lasetia. The Party is militaristic and in their political party programm it is the goal to expand their territory at all costs. At all costs is over the top, but it is a huge goal. Unlike other conversative parties on the globe, they want more people, and dont care if there from another country or are a different ethnic group or religion. The religious Freedom should be secured, but Christianity should be spread.

Foreign relations

Lasetania recognize every other Micronation, that is recognizing it back and doesn´t have a territorial claim on Lasetia´s Territory (What should be impossible if the Territorial Claim is not a joke). The Free State also recognizes every Country of the UN and hopes for Recognition from them back. If another Micronation is threatening Lasetia, Lasetia will react immediately and if diplomatic relations completely fall, there will be Consequenzes. But Lasetia is peaceful and the foreign minister´s duty is to save the diplomatic relations. As already mentioned Lasetia won´t threaten any country only in an Emergency Case, where the Security of the People and State is in Danger such things as a Military Occupation or war happends. But it is a very important law that Lasetia is not aggressive or having territorial claims of territory from other Micronations.
